Returning Materials Late 

Fayette County Memorial Library does not charge fines for overdue materials. Materials should still be returned on or before the due date. Any item not returned 14 days after its due date is considered lost, blocking accounts from check-out and subjecting patrons to lost fees. Once any item considered lost is found and returned, accounts are restored and fees erased.
